Marin County just rolled out FixItMarin, a mobile app that lets residents report non-emergency issues in parks/west-marin/bolinas-lagoon-preserve/”>unincorporated areas. We’re talking potholes in West Marin, broken park signs near Fairfax—stuff that usually takes forever to get fixed.
You can grab FixItMarin from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Snap a photo, attach GPS data, and if you’re offline, no worries—upload your report later when you’ve got service.

This app might actually change how communities like San Geronimo Valley, Point Reyes Station, and Bolinas get things fixed. It feels like a step toward making visible problems less of a headache.
FixItMarin: A New Tool for Unincorporated Marin
FixItMarin aims to make reporting easier and get problems fixed faster. Each report goes straight to the right county division, so cleanup or repairs don’t get lost in the shuffle.
Out in West Marin—Tomales, Point Reyes Station, Inverness, Stinson Beach—being able to file a report on the spot can save a lot of hassle. No more trying to remember details hours later.
Crosby Burns, deputy county executive for digital services, says the app’s about reporting issues as you see them, not after you’re back at your desk. The San Geronimo Valley pilot earlier this year gave developers a chance to iron out bugs and listen to real feedback.
How to Use FixItMarin
Here’s what you do, whether you’re up in Mill Valley or out by Bolinas:
- Download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Take a photo of the problem—maybe a pothole, illegal dumping, or a busted park sign.
- Add GPS info so crews can find the spot, even if you’re offline.
- Upload later when you’ve got a connection; offline drafting is handy for places like Point Reyes Station or Olema.
- Send it to the right department so the right team handles it, which should speed things up.
Pilot Lessons and What They Mean for Marin Communities
After the San Geronimo Valley pilot, developers used feedback to make the app more reliable and easier to use. They fixed geolocation glitches and tried to make the whole thing smoother.
For folks from Nicasio’s backroads to the busier areas near San Rafael, a faster, more predictable fix makes a real difference.
Benefits for West Marin and Beyond
FixItMarin isn’t just for one neighborhood. It’s built for all of Marin’s unincorporated areas.
In places like Bolinas, Point Reyes Station, and Stinson Beach, the offline upload is a lifesaver when cell service drops. Inland, around Fairfax or Santa Venetia, residents can still file reports and trust they’ll reach the right department.
Honestly, the hope is for a process that’s more efficient and open—maybe even a little less frustrating. From Sausalito’s hills to Marshall’s marshes and Tomales’ rural lanes, the goal is to get things fixed without all the usual runaround.
What Happens Next and How to Access More Info
Marin’s FixItMarin initiative is live now for unincorporated areas. The county plans to expand it as they monitor usage and listen to user feedback.
If you live in Point Reyes Station, Inverness, or Santa Venetia, you’ll get a more direct route to the right county team. That could mean Public Works for potholes, Parks for sign repairs, or maybe another group for environmental stuff.
They’ve dropped a short county link with the announcement, so keep an eye on your Marin County notifications for all the details. It’s worth checking.
Honestly, these small steps toward digital-government service keep shifting how Marin County towns interact with local government. Whether you’re out in the wind-swept corners of West Marin, strolling the historic lanes of San Anselmo, or hanging by the waterfronts of Tiburon and Belvedere, the changes are starting to show.
For folks in Marin City or any rural hamlet, FixItMarin feels like a practical tool. It’s meant to help keep our coastline clean, our streets safe, and our parks actually welcoming for families who call Marin home.
